Abstract
In this chapter, I provide some background that will aid the reader in following the argument of this book. This book is philosophical, yet very personal. I will state here some of the personal and professional background for the writing of the book (§1.1) as well as some of the epistemological assumptions (§1.2). I describe a core notion of the book: “expanded ‘bare’ theism” (§1.3, §1.4), the main hypothesis under scrutiny in this book.
